Parent Volunteer Gifts

I was so lucky this year! I had multiple parent volunteers that were just amazing! They came in weekly, multiple times a week, etc. and cranked out any project!! I couldn't have asked for more support from my parents!

I wanted to do something very nice to thank them for all of their hard work and I found these adorable coffee mugs on Etsy! I knew that they were perfect.

I filled them with some Starbucks Via packets, mini Torani syrups and a little card that all of the kids signed that said "Thanks a Latte." 

If you're interested in ordering the mugs, you can find them here!

Rocksbox Review

Guess what! I found out about an amazing new jewelry box program and I tried it out on using a code for a free month! It is HEAVEN!



Seriously...this is perfect to pair with my Stitch Fix boxes!!

So...what is Rocksbox?! It's a subscription jewelry box that costs $19 a month. However, I have 3 free month subscriptions to give out if you use the code "MyrandaBFF."

For the $19, they'll send you three pieces of jewelry.  You can keep and wear the jewelry for as long as you'd like. Then, you can either send it back in exchange for new items OR you can purchase it and keep it forever!

You'll get $10 of your monthly membership to use in credit toward anything that you purchase!

All of my items were super gorgeous and very high-quality! Check them out below!!

How gorgeous is this packaging?! I love the personalized card too!

I LOVE this bracelet! I think that it's going to be a "keep forever" item. It's so pretty and dainty. 

These earrings are also really dainty and pretty. I love how they're understated but also offer a ton of class.  

This necklace blew me away. It is so insanely gorgeous. Plus, the weight of the necklace really showed me that it's not cheap and flimsy. This is a gorgeous, quality necklace!

Listening:

First of all, can I start with how awkward it is to even admit that I've been having some serious Omarion marathons lately? It's true. It's awkward to admit and it has been happening. I was listening to the R&B station on Spotify recently and they were lovin' Omarion that day and then I've just had my app on the Omarion station ever since. 

Any other Omarion fans in here?!

Loving:

I know that I am like 10 years late to the scene but I just started watching Entourage from episode #1! I started it last week and I'm on Season 3 right now. If you've watched Entourage, do you know how Vince feels about Mandy Moore?! Well, that's how I feel right now. When he says that he never wants to leave her side...not even for a second...that's how I feel. Can I just watch Entourage endlessly and forego any and all adult responsibilities? I can't...? 

Thinking:

Alright, thinking about oxygen sounds super weird because who really thinks about that? However, I was reading about the declining percentage of oxygen in our air and how having plants in our homes really helps to balance out the loss of oxygen in our air outside and that really got me to start thinking about using plants in my bedroom to improve the air purity and air quality in the room where I spend the longest amount of uninterrupted time breathing. So, this weekend, I am on a mission to get some "bedroom plants." Do you have some recommendations? It also made me start thinking about oxygenating my classroom but I'll save that for another day!

Wanting:

Normally, my wants are less materialistic as I've been on a journey to de-consumerize my life. Is that a word? If it's not, just pretend with me that it is. However, mantra bands are killing me. I love them. All of them. I want them.

Needing:

Yep. Still exhausted. Nothing has changed here since last month.

Summer Lovin':

Yes! Yes! Yes! I am so excited to go to Greece in a couple weeks! Do you all want some pictures?! I will also get to go meet my new nephew in California! Plus, my birthday is during the summer and that's always a good time!  What are your summer plans?
